Barnes 4WD Aluminum Tie Rod Install!
Рет қаралды 38,622
Күн бұрынUPDATE: Barnes raised the price but now includes free shipping, the Left hand thread side is also marked with a machined ring to make it easier to adjust. For 295$ and free shipping this is a great choice

Barnes also sells a Aluminum Drag link, But i will wait until they have an over the knuckle (flip kit) drag link available.
Having an aluminum steering setup offers many advantages over steel, stay tuned for a video testing the differences!

JK Gear and Gadgets prolly long shot if you see this but I put synergy tierods on my 17jku and roughly 10months ago. I had a shop align it now I can get under there and wiggle my bar back and forth. My steering wheel is starting to have a bounce back when I slightly turn left or right now. My cooper stt pro are starting to wear every other lug. Any feedback much appreciated.

I don’t have side to side play only back towards the rearend and to the front of the jeep. Just didn’t know if that was causing my steering to wanna jerk back when I change lanes. Synergy track bar is tight. This weekend putting on dual steering stabilizer see if that would help. Watch all your videos man love them! Thank you for reply!

@JKGearandGadgets 5 жыл бұрын
Yes. As long as the ram is parallel with the tie rod you won’t have any issues with the ram bending the tie rod. Most people that have an issue with aluminum and Hydro assist have it incorrectly setup. Need to make sure the ram is on a flat and unangled plane, and set the tie rod clamp all the way back while the tie rod is rotated (tie rod flop) all the way forward, which will keep the ram and tie rod in a centered state.

Steel tie rods are a good upgrade, but when you do hit something hard or land on a rock it will eventually bend. The good thing about aluminum is that it will bend just like a steel one, but it will bend right back to normal. I’ve had to bend my steel tie rod back with my winch way too many times. If you were to buy an upgraded tie rod then aluminum is the way to go.
